إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ

(Verily, His punishment is painful (and) severe.) In the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that Abu Musa said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,

Chapter 11, Page 233, Juz 12

96. We also sent Moses, with Our signs and clear authority, 97. to Pharaoh and his supporters, but they followed Pharaoh’s orders, and Pharaoh’s orders were misguided. 98. He will be at the forefront of his people on the Day of Resurrection, leading them down towards the Fire. What a foul drinking place to be led to! 99. They were pursued by God’s rejection in this life and will be on the Day of Resurrection, too. What a foul gift to be given! 100. We relate to you [Muhammad] such accounts of earlier towns: some of them are still standing; some have been mown down; 101. We did not wrong them; they wronged themselves. Their gods, which they called on beside God, were no use to them when what your Lord had ordained came about; they only increased their ruin. 102. Such is the punishment of your Lord for towns in the midst of their sins: His punishment is terrible and severe. 103. There truly is a sign in this for anyone who fears the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day in which all people will be gathered together, a Day for all to see. 104. We are delaying it only for a specified period, 105. and when that Day comes, no soul will speak except by His permission, and some of them will be wretched and some happy. 106. The wretched ones will be in the Fire, sighing and groaning, 107. there to remain for as long as the heavens and earth endure, unless your Lord wills otherwise: your Lord carries out whatever He wills. 108. As for those who have been blessed, they will be in Paradise, there to remain as long as the heavens and earth endure, unless your Lord wills otherwise- an unceasing gift. 109. [Prophet], have no doubt about what these people worship: it is merely what their fathers worshipped before them, and We shall certainly give them their share in full, without any reduction.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
